Bonus's only get paid if there's a profit.

Given the creative bookeeping that's be done for the funding of the Games, to ensure "they come in on budget" I'd be willing to put money on them getting that bonus.

It's not really a bonus but more of a hold back in order to retain their employment for the full length of time they'll need them. It should be calculated into their other pay and determined from there if they're over paid.

$1:

According to a report released earlier this month, VANOC has 1,302 full-time workers. If bonuses are distributed only to those workers — which is unclear, given the committee has not fully explained the program — the average payment would be just over $23,000.

There are people that dont make that in a year of full time hard work.

What about the volunteers? What do they get? a bunch of flowers?
